SPORTS BRIEF: Smith leads Vikings over Mingo Central, 71-70

MINGO COUNTY – Casy Smith scored 30 points and hit a jumper with one second left on the clock to enable the Ripley High cagers to notch their third victory in a row, 71-70 at Mingo Central.

Ripley (5-8) went on a 27-15 run in the final period to secure the victory, largely because of Smith's heroics.

The senior guard hit 8-of-14 shots from the field including a spectacular 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Smith hit a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to bring Ripley to within 69-67. A Drew Harpold bucket made it 70-69 setting up Smith's game winner.

Smith had a tremendous game for Ripley the previous night as he scored 14 in a victory over Ravenswood in the Jackson County Shootout.
